I've looked in Emacs 24.3 package.el, http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ELPA, http://elpa.gnu.org/ package.el talks about creating a tar file, but doesn't say where to put/send that tar file. The wiki has a reference to a short gmane mailing list discussion of ELPA policy, which mentions sending email to a couple people, but that's pretty old so I'm wondering if it is up to date. There has been mention here of packages in ELPA being automatically updated somehow; where is that documented? I'd like to add Ada mode 5.0 to ELPA, but I don't understand how to go about doing that. -- -- Stephe
